Up for sale is my Parasound Halo A51. I stepped up to this amp from the Parasound HCA series amps and what an astounding difference in SQ! I've really enjoyed having this in my HT rack but time to move on. Condition is 9/10 both cosmetically and functionally. The only scratches you'll find are on the bottom from being rack mounted on a shelf. Faceplate is pristine. Never had any issues with it.

You get: The amp, original double box and packing materials, rack mount hardware, original power cord, aftermarket feet and 12v trigger cable.

Disclosures: I'm the second owner. I purchased it from a professional HT installer's personal system. I don't know the age of the amp as there are no manufacture date stickers anywhere to be found on the amp or the original box. The original asset tag from Parasound is still attached.

I have it listed elswhere for more but I'm offering a Polkie price of $2600 OBO plus actual shipping (plan on between $75 and $100). I'll split the Paypal 3% fee.

    I have the Parasound 2205A and I have been a big fan of Parasound for some time now. This is a great amp for sure and anyone thinking of purchasing a 5 channel amp should seriously consider this one.

    Did you replace this with a Sunfire signature amp you purchased here? If so, can you let us know how these amps two compare?
